Make certain thal all conduits are perpendicular to the
base plane and are located to fit in the area provided as
shown on the General Arrangement drawing
Secondary control conduits must not exceed a 2 inch (51

‘Though the conduit should extend above floor or sab 10
center the cubicle and exclude water, it should not exceed
{2172 inches (28 mm) on indoor switchgear. On outdoor
switchgear the secondary control conduit should extend
approximately 7 inches (178 mm) above the slab or base
plane but notexceed a maximum of Binches or a minimuin
fof 6-2/4 inches (171 mm). 10 cases where shipping sec-
tions cannot be lowered over tne conduit because of nead-
room or other restiction, conduit couplings can be
{groued in flush with the slab. Conduit nipples can then be
Added after switchgaar Is in place. Keep conduit ends
‘apped during constuction until ready to make electrical
sonnections, This precaution will prevent cirt, moisture
ind vermin from entering the conduit
LU the primary pawer eancuit is grouted into the founda-
tion, follow the preceding instruction. (This conduit may
often enter through a french or planned opening.)
‘whon grouted anchor bolts are required, they must be
located as shown on the General Arrangement drawing
INSTALLING SHIPPING SECTIONS
‘The proper method of installation depends on whather the
switchgear is shipped as one complete unit or in two ot
move shipping sections, The General Arrangemont drav-
ing will indicate the shipping sections and their location
within the line-up. Sections ace assembled and wited in
accordance with the atrangement asin final installation.
[As previously covered under" Foundation”, mounting sur
faces, sills, sab, piers or piling must be level and in the
tame plan. Also, conduits must be properly located and
perpendicular to such a degree that they will clear the
floor plate cutouts. Mounting surfaces must be swept eo
of stone, chips or other debris which might impede rollers
‘oF laveling of the switchgear,
SETTING SHIPPING SECTIONS
[After checking each shipping section for its proper loca
tion sequence. as sown on the General Arrangement
drawing, move the first section of switchgear to its loca:
tion. When a transtormer is part of the installation, the
switchgear is positioned nextto the transformer as shown
in figures 19 and 14, The sections are to be kept just high
enough to clear conduits. The switchgear is then moved
toward the transformer to the dimensions shown on the
General Arrangement drawing. Atthe same time, properly
liga anchor batts and conduit below the switchgear. With
ail points aligned. conduit caps and floor plate concuit
Covers removed, carefully lower tne sections to their per~
manent location. itis important that the first section be
Accurately positioned and leveled as each successive sec-
tion will depend on the First.
On line-up with ventilated dry transformers, the switch-
(ear is placed against the tranatormer. Only the flexible
Connectors are bolted to transformer terminals. (See ig
tires 128 and 13.) INSTALLATION

BOLTING PROCEDURE
‘As a customer option, provision is made on Siemens-Allis
load break switches and low voltage switchgear for bolt-
Jing to the adjacent dry type vanstormer trame. This
results in a more rigi¢ line-up than an unbolted assembly
fandcan also correct for minor variationsin the plumbness
ff these adjacent piaces or equipment.
Figure 124 shows location of bolt holes tobe used for this
purpose, Two holes are provided on load break switch
Ginits and four are provided on low voltage switchgear:
these holes are in-line with captive nuts provided on the
vent ary transformer frame andare plugged" with a 38-16
hardware prior to shipment.
BOLTING PROCEDURE
Remove .08-16 hardware from bolt holes shown in
‘above sketches: (Note that this hardware is hex head
‘and all other hardware holding side plates in place is
fiat head type). Save all hardware except for hex head
rut
2. Move switch and/or low voltage switchgear into its
‘inal position bolted closely tothe dry type transformer.
2, Ingpect front and rear of joints between switch and.
transformer and between low voltage switchgear and
transformer, It all units are porfectly plumb and the
Hloor is perfectly evel, there should be no gap evide
between equipment at these joints. If there is a gap
larger than 13” af top or Bottom, proceed to setp 4:1
no crack exists, proceed to step. 5.
4. Ifa gap larger than .13" appears at joints i will be
necessary to level and plumb all equipment, and not
try to draw equipment together by bolting since this is
apt to disturb cubicles which, in turn, may cause mal-
functions. Check plumb on alt equipment to oeter-
mine wrich is causing the problem. Once this has
been determined, use suitable shims under the
equipment base to reduce the gap to a maximum of
13"
5, Using the 98-16 bolts, tlat and tockwashers removes
in Stap 1. bolt the switch and/or switchgear to the
transformer case,
On installation with liquid transformers, the switchgear is
placed as showin on the General Arrangement drawing,
‘with the sida one Inch from the edge of the transformer
cover. The Hexisle connectors are bolted to transformer
terminals see General Arrangement drawing) andahood
